Campus Safety

Good, I never heard of any problems and I always see security guards

Great for these types of students

Independent self motivated

Bang for the buck

Excellent, because if you are a resident of wilbarger county the tuition is very cheap compared to other colleges

What to do for fun

They have sports days and stuff like that

Food and Dining

I don't eat there

Dorm Life

I don't know I live in a house

Tips for prospective students

If you take online classes just be sure to ask questions early and apply yourself fully, without the lectures from the instructor you really are on your own in class.

In three sentences

Overall I like the college. I take most classes online and their online classes are much harder than online classes through an online school like AIU, because there are no lectures or anything; you just read and test. Now they also require proctored testing at the school.

Bang for the buck

some things and places here are you get what you pay fro and others are clearance you just have to shop around on everything and anything

Tips for prospective students

im a 25 year old mother of 5 kids all under the age of 8.. i also have 3 kids with disabilities.. i am also not working and am full time in school ..where theres a will theres a way...dont say you cant enroll in school if you dont have a full plate becuase if it dosent compare to mine it isnt anything to stop you from school.

In three sentences

a school that works with your life. friendly and family oriented college with the students needs are top priority. an open door policy in every department.

Sharif from Wichita Falls, TX

Socialize with friends at campus, watch YouTube at the computer lab, you can even play some games online. Installing files is restricted however which is perfectly reasonable.

Food and Dining

It's alright there is a small Quiz-no's there that you can purchase soups and sandwiches from. Other than that your options are limited to the vending machines scattered around campus. Most people simply drive off to their preferred feeding grounds during lunch break or simply prepare their own food.

Dorm Life

I haven't participated in dorm life at Vernon Campus.

Academic Rigor

2.5 out of 5 after all most of the classes are introductory courses designed to get you used to working in a college research environment.

Tips for prospective students

Excellent choice for covering subjects that are required to complete any degree.

In three sentences

It's a decent campus with emphasis on great value to get the most out of your money. Decent to good classes are offered backed up with adequate resources, such as two computer lab hubs, a library and a printing station.

Food and Dining

Vernon College has a wonderful kitchen staff. Each day there is a special at the VC Cafe and the food is OUTSTANDING! Meals may seem a little expensive, but with the food you are being served and how much you get it's a great deal!

In three sentences

Vernon College is quite an exceptional school. I thought college would be extremely difficult and was worried, but the professors there make sure each student understands curriculum before moving on to other topics. I love Vernon College!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a college sports day at the Vernon campus in Vernon where all students come out for the day and play lots of games and fun activities. It's a nice break from school work and allows you to get out and meet people and participate in a lot fun events like volley ball, potato sac races, kickball, softball, rowing, etc.

What to do for fun

Activities really depends on which Vernon campus you are attending. I am not very familiar with the campus in Vernon Texas but the other sister locations are 45 minutes east in Wichita Falls Texas and there is plenty to do in the surrounding area (mall, movie theaters, lots of restaurants, stores, bowling alley, bars if of age, etc.).

Food and Dining

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner available

Tips for prospective students

Get involved in your school and participate in on and off campus events, make your college experience a great experience. Talk to your instructors when needed they are all willing to help. Online courses are available too and instructors are just as great and helpful there too.

In three sentences

Vernon College is a great school with an outstanding staff willing to go the extra mile for their students. The staff and faculty at Vernon college really care about the future of their students and helping them exceed in their goals.
